“They’re obviously what we were building to before we won the championship. Their ball movement, they’ve got team-first guys, they’ve got no guys that are me-guys on that team, who are big into stats and all that kind of stuff. We were trying to emulate what they were doing. Obviously (Warriors head coach) Steve (Kerr) had played there, he’d worked with Pop (Spurs coach Gregg Popovich ) before, and that was what we were trying to emulate. So we didn’t expect it to happen as fast as it did for us, but it did, and we’ve got the utmost respect for Popovich and their whole franchise in general for the way they conduct themselves. They’re professional. They generally weed out guys who aren’t high character and guys who don’t want to buy into their system. That’s kind of what we’re about as well.”
